The Book of Shadow Work

Bestselling author and “empress of self-help” ( The Atlantic ) Keila Shaheen pens the ultimate modern guide for you to tap into the practice of uncovering and embracing the hidden side of your deepest inner self.

Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder, is this all there is? Are you currently capturing your strongest talent and tapping your deepest joy?

Are you showing up as the best version of yourself?

Shadow work is the key to answering these and other questions truthfully so you can make the life of your dreams a reality. Originally founded by psychologist Carl Jung, shadow work guides you beyond surface self-help, bringing you face-to-face with the unacknowledged parts of yourself. It represents what we’ve pushed out of consciousness to hide: our fears, traumas, addictions, projections, self-doubt, negative patterns—and also our lost talents, childlike joy, and unclaimed brilliance. Shadow work means inviting the contents of your personal shadow into awareness with appreciation and love.

On these pages, you’ll discover how millions have achieved inner freedom via shadow work—from the Gulf War vet who found his artistic gifts to the young woman who stopped being silent about her sexual abuse to find meaningful love. Packed with analysis and insights from experts, celebrities, and everyday practitioners, this book leaves no stone unturned in unpacking the joys and trouble-shooting the pitfalls of dedicated shadow work.
